Helena Pradip

Helena is a Melbourne-based improviser whose rapid rise through the improv scene has been powered by fearless commitment, sharp ensemble instincts and an almost alarming enthusiasm for the art form.

Since beginning her improv journey in 2023, Helena has thrown herself wholeheartedly into performance and training, quickly developing a reputation for bold choices, grounded characters and a willingness to follow scenes absolutely anywhere. In 2024, she travelled to Chicago to complete the prestigious summer intensive at iO Theater, deepening her understanding of long-form improvisation and exploring a wide range of international improv styles and techniques.

Back in Melbourne, Helena performs regularly with the Harold team Full Tilt at The Improv Conspiracy and is also one half of the improv duo Big Stuff, bringing playful chemistry and fast-paced comedic energy to stages across the city.

Now performing with The Big HOO-HAA! Melbourne, Helena continues to expand her improv toolkit while enthusiastically proving that, once improv gets its hooks into you, there’s really no turning back.
